• .5 oz Gin
• .5 oz Sweet Vermouth
• .5 oz Dry Vermouth 
• .25 oz Grand Mariner
• .5 oz Orange Juice
• 3 dashes of Orange Bitters

This is a very old cocktail, and not nearly as bad ass as the name implies.

This week we enter the Demilitarized Zone, AKA the DMZ, AKA Manhattan.  The story takes us thru a war torn New York in the center of a second American Civil War. Vertigo presents DMZ, a tale from expertly written by Brian Wood with beautiful Art by Riccardo Burchielli.

• 1.5 oz Rye Whiskey
• 1.75 oz Sweet Vermouth
• .5 oz Grand Marnier
• 3 dashes Angostura Bitters

Add all the ingredients to a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

This is a bit on the sweeter side as Manhattans go.  Q changed the name from the Employees Only Manhattan, to the Locals Only Manhattan.  We're assuming that the Employees Only is a reference to the famous Employees Only Speak Easy in New York.  Not sure if it is still on Netflix, but there was a documentary on there called Hey Bartender, about the bartenders at Employees only.  Worth checking out if you are so inclined. 

With beautiful art by Alex Ross, a script by Mark Waid this DC Elseworlds mini-series made a splash in 1996.  This week we are discussing Kingdom Come.  A futuristic story that deals with the conflict between the out of touch heroes we know, and a new group of dangerous vigilantes.
